La Mode

.

A walk down Rodeo Drive is a sociology field trip. These stores attempt to dictate the right way to look to women with more money than sense, then let it trickle down to the rest of the population. It goes without saying that the mannequins look skinny to the point of ill health, but I noticed a twist last weekend. A lot of them were bald, or almost so. How do you parse that? Madam, if you are not sufficiently skeletal, perhaps a few rounds of chemotherapy would do the trick. Sheesh.TOMORROW: let's take a ride up to Mulholland Drive at sunset before we leave LA.

Too true. It would be interested to know who buys all this stuff. Locals or more likely tourists. In Monaco, the main money these days is Russian but they are gearing up for the Chinese and building a special new shopping centre.

Madam, if you are not sufficiently skeletal, perhaps a few rounds of chemotherapy would do the trick - I had to laugh (sort of) at that one! I'm sorry not to leave a comment on each of your posts - too busy these days to do so - but you can rest assured that I read them all, albeit in chunks of several at a time, and that I never fail to enjoy them, not only for the photos, always pertinent and quality-driven, but also for your commentaries. I can definitely to your tone and sense of humor.
